  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Athletic, twitchy frame. Slightly undersized with minimal remaining projection.

Hit: Starts slightly open and vertical with his hands by his chest. Pronounced leg kick. Swing has some length. Has a decent amount of swing-and-miss in his game. Will take a walk when the pitcher is not around the zone.

Power: Sneaky pop for his size.

Run: Above-average speed.

Field: Solid defensive profile. Has the combination of instincts and quickness teams look for in center field. Solid range and was very sure-handed in college.
   Arm: Average arm strength.

Career Notes: Highly regarded shortstop recruit in high school, but moved to center field in college. Played in the Cape Cod League in 2021 (Hyannis) and 2022 (Wareham). Started all three years at Alabama.

Summation: Solid defensive profile gives him a good baseline. Future potential will be determined by how his bat translates to pro ball, but he gets the most out of his tools and leaves it all on the field.
